To define what spiritual leaven is
To gain understanding on why leaven was not
used in the Passover offering but was during the
Pentecost ceremony
To understand why even small sins makes us
unacceptable to God
What does it mean to be leavened with
righteousness
It is an ingredient used in bake goods
It causes a permanent change in the dough
  It softens it
  Makes it lighter
  Makes it larger
Here is a list of many different types of leaven
   Yeast/yeast extract
   baking powder
   baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
   monocalcium phosphate
   sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP)
   sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP)
   ammonium bicarbonate (hartshorn, horn salt, bakers ammonia)
   potassium bicarbonate (potash)
   potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar)
   potassium carbonate (pearlash)
This is not a surprise!!
The two sides of leavening
The two sides of leavening
We know we can’t eat leavening on Passover
We are studying the Pentecost!?
There is a connection between both feast days
Leavening helps understand that connection
Remember when
  Leaven represented sin during the passover
  Just like leaven you can see it in things you
  recognize quickly
  It can exist in tiny amounts in places you never
  suspected
Sin changes you just like leaven changes the
nature of dough
God will not accept any sin at any time!!
He did not accepted when Moses sinned!
He did not accepted when Cain sinned!
He does not accept it when you sin!!
God is merciful
   He gives us a space of time to remove the leaven
   from our lives
   So that we can be an acceptable offering unto him
   Moses took advantage of this time
   Cain did not!
   If we want to gain acceptance by God we must
   remove leaven from our lives
God is so merciful that he gives us teachers
   The Holy Spirit is one of them
   He teaches how to remove sin from our lives
   In this way we become unleavened
We are almost there
Remember that wave sheaf that is presented
before God
It represents our first fruits that we must give to
God
It is also used in the wave offering that is used
during Pentecost
A special offering made with leaven!
This represents a different type of leaven
It shows what happens when the Holy Spirit
works with a clean vessel
A change occurs
   Our minds expand
   We become stronger in God’s word
It should be noted that God’s word has a
powerful impact just like leaven
Only when we are leavened perfectly with
righteousness
Are we acceptable before God
Can change us
We will go in greater detail with the next lesson
Which will be the works of the Holy Spirit
